Tom Brady was set to count at least $8 million against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ salary cap for the 2022 season. It looks like the Bucs are going to get their money’s worth this fall.
Brady, 44 years old and coming off a season in which he threw a league-best 43 touchdowns and 5,316 passing yards, has reversed course on his retirement plans. In a tweet posted Sunday night — moments after the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament bracket was unveiled in an impressive middle finger to sportswriters everywhere — he announced he’ll return for a 23rd season. And, to end any speculation about where, he specifically told the world he’ll be in Tampa.
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm
